Always keep the sauce with you, it comes in handy sometimes. That is if you cant walk away. As they say you dont have to take the invitation to every fight, so if you can walk away do so.

I was with some friends at a Burger King drive thru at the Oregon beach a couple summers ago. We had the right of way pulling into the parking lot and this elderly lady insisted that she was (considering she pulled into the exit.) She proceeded to get into a heated argument over who got too the drive thru first. Was very rude and accused us of cutting her off when we pulled into order food. She was doing everything she could to prove she was right including giving my friends the middle finger which only infuriated them even more. I did my best too be the peacemaker and said “Just let it go. If she gets that upset over ordering some cheeseburgers that’s really childish and immature. It’s just food.” They agreed and said it wasn’t worth it.

Resurrecting an old thread with an article I just came across. It makes some excellent points.
Two of my biggest take aways.
-
“Before you can de-escalate the anger of others, you must first de-escalate yourself. You have to learn how to tame your temper, and then you can tame theirs.”
-
" I want you to think of yourself not as the victim (which is how you will most likely want to view yourself), or the villain (which is how an angry person will most likely want to view you), but as the NARRATOR . Why? Because the narrator is outside of the situation, and they decide where the story goes next." (Emphasis in the original.)

I like it!
One thought that constantly goes through my mind is " I am armed with a deadly weapon, I don’t need to display the weapon or attitude".
